Rev. King’s death sentence caused by witches, wizards- Church members allege

Members of Christian Praying Assembly (CPA) whose head pastor Chukwuemeka Ezeugo aka Reverend King was sentenced to death by hanging last week by the Nigerian Supreme court, are claiming that the murder charges against him was the handiwork of witches and wizards.According to the Nation, during the first church service yesterday February 28th, one of the church Pastors Ifeanyi King said:

“Our G.O. (General Overseer) the most holiness, Rev King, is coming back. He said he would come back and we believe the words of his mouth. We believe his report that he is coming back. Everything happening now we know is the handiwork of witches and wizard. Soon a new story will emerge. Whether people realise it or not, everybody now knows his holiness, our G.O. Rev King. The front pages of newspapers are flooded with his name. People are yearning to read about him in the social media. I can confirm to you that by all these, a lot of people have become endeared to him. Our Daddy G.O. shall live forever for us in Jesus name".

They sang hymns and danced to mark Reverend King's birthday that fell on Friday Feb 26 the same day his death sentence was confirmed.
